Biography

from findagrave.com: Paschal, born in Guildhall, VT, to Asa Fisk and Betsey Henry. He was one of twelve children.

On Dec 3, 1842 in Salisbury, MA he married Hannah French, daughter of Moses French and Hannah Moody. They had one daughter, Caroline. In 1850 they lived in Charlestown, MA and Paschal was listed as a laborer. Hannah died in early 1859 of consumption in Charlestown.

On May 3, 1860 in Salisbury, MA he married Sarah E. Gilman, daughter of Samuel and Mary Gilman. Sarah was born in Anderson, ME and this was her first marriage.

Paschal went in early life from northern New Hampshire to Boston with his brother, Royal, and engaged in business there. For many years he had a brokerage business and lived in Charlestown, MA, which was then a separate municipality from Boston. In the 1860 census he was listed as a pawn broker.

He was a victim of dyspepsia and, due to his impaired health, he sought a country life near the sea shore. He bought a small farm, first at North Beverly, where they were living in 1870 and afterward at East Salisbury. Here he passed his last years very quietly. In the 1880 census and in his death listing his occupation was listed as "Gentleman".

Paschal was a very religious man and like most of his brothers attached to the Methodist Church.
